The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A witty, retro-inspired stealth thriller that fuses tense sneaking with darkly comedic dialogue and a satisfying crunch of old-school difficulty.

What players say

Players praise UnMetal as a genuinely funny parody of the original Metal Gear games, with many citing its absurd humor and solid gameplay. The game lasts about 5 to 10 hours, and the Spanish voice acting is a standout for some.
